Dante Trussardi started this business as a glove maker in 1910. His grandson, Nicola Trussardi, was recently in the news due to a tragic car accident. Nicola inherited the business from his brother (who also died in a car accident) in 1970 and expanded the family business with fine leather goods and accessories, and ready-to-porter lines for men, women and children.
Trussardi's most recent designer is Jeremy Scott, who joined them in 1997. Sobriety, naturalness and seductiveness applied to both the material and the form, express the character of the Trussardi style, a style that the American press has called "the modern sensuality".
